Critical reception

In 2017, BuzzFeed listed the song at number 61 in their list of "The 101 Greatest Dance Songs Of the '90s". John Kilgo from The Network Forty wrote that "on top of Reggae-inspired toasting dropped over a rhythmic Hip-Hop beat, Gospelish female vocals, paired with cadenced male chantings, defy simple categorization. Props to their self-interpretation of Paula Abdul's "Straight Up" done acapella". James Hunter from Vibe described the song as a "serious goof" and added that it "unwinds like dancehall, jerks and cuts like hip hop, and shouts its seductions with the gutbucket abandon of Joe Tex's "I Gotcha". The phone rings just as K7 gets home to his sweetie ", hilariously interrupting the mood. But this record is really about his adventures after he slams the bedroom door."
